MTRCB: There's proper venue for Mocha Uson's complaints

MANILA -- Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) Chairperson Rachel Arenas wished that Mocha Uson coursed through proper venue her concerns on several shows aired on the television.

Uson, a former sexy star and one of the 30 board members of the MTRCB, uploaded a video blog last February 17 questioning the quality of programs shown on ABS-CBN.

She complained over the racy episode of "Ipaglaban Mo" last February 11 and the pilot broadcast of "The Better Half" last February 13.

Uson also claimed that other members of the board, particularly those appointed by the past administration, are "not open to change."

The sexy star threatMANILA ened to resign if, she said, this will continue in MTRCB and in the local television programming.

Arenas, in a radio interview on Monday evening in “Showbiz Talk Ganern” on DZRH, said she wished Uson raised her issues on the board so that they could discuss it.

"We represent the Office of the President. So, we follow certain decorum

also. Yun ang ideal, that's been the practice and I want to continue that practice. Then kung mag awayaway tayo doon, magsigawan man tayo doon, at the end of the day, we reached a consensus," she said.

Arenas also refuted Uson’s claims that some members are not open to change. She said the Aquino appointees even asked her if she prefers to make changes or do something differently during her term.

She said they are all open to whatever will benefit the viewing public.

"Wala akong kilala sa kanila personally. Pero sa halos dalawang linggo pa lang ako diyan, open naman po sila sa suggestions. Sa akin na lang, sana hindi na lang umabot sa ganun," Arenas said.

"Ayaw kong magkaroon ng parang divide with the old and the new board kasi isa lang naman po ang president natin at lahat tayo kailangang sumuporta sa kanya," she added.
